Helstrom premiered, & not a single damn was given.

“I don’t know how people thought that TFA could have led to any other version of Luke.”

Yep. I could see how VIII might be very different, and possibly “better” if in a different trilogy, but I honestly think given the setup of VII, VIII absolutely made sense and was also beautifully done. And this approach to Luke could also work well even with a different VII. I think the fans blaming RJ for “ruining”…

Honestly, I don't know how people thought that TFA could have led to any other version of Luke. People don't hide themselves in the most secluded place they can find because they are eager to fight.

To take a stab at it:
What you said is not untrue, but it’s also not irrelevant. The 80s was a time when a lot of the bad attitudes that are so corrosive to modern society were cemented. Things like “trickle down economics,” “greed is good,” and, yes, strongman attitudes towards solving problems. That was when America…

They’re not. But neither Kripke nor the article puts “80's action movie heroes” or “Dom Torretto” on the other side of that equation. Kripke’s interview implies that the other side is one where there aren’t action heroes in film/TV.

And yes, the Arnold/Sly films from the 80's are just as implicitly fascist as…

Well here’s your problem - this is the wrong Tatiana Maslany. Little-known secret in Orphan Black, “Tatiana Maslany” is actually a set of four identical quadruplets who are all credited under one name. But they probably only need one (maaaaybe two) for She-Hulk, so the Tatiana who was asked clearly isn’t one that’s…

Even post spiderverse comics don’t have him in nikes.

You do realize this is not based on that movie, right? Or were the shoes so popular with him in Spider-Verse that they’ve known branched into putting him on them in all the other media (i.e. other games with Morales and the comics.. I guess that’s about it) too?

It’s more “only run in the format I decide for myself”.  Other people are free to run whatever self-imposed rules they feel like.  Nothing is stopping anyone else from doing 100% runs, no hacks runs, anything goes runs, whatever.  So yeah, let people enjoy things.  Let them run whatever rules they feel like.

Ngl, tying your personality to brand loyalty is pretty weak imo. Whether it be pumpkin spice starbucks, or papa john’s pizza, or how much you love starwars and marvel movies.

I don’t think Miles’ jordans are a “cornerstone of his character” and I would hope he’s more interesting than that. Maybe it’s because I’m not a…

It’s kinda what the whole point of categories are for in the first place. No one has to run the any percent current version early access build category if they don’t want to.

Gotcha — I didn’t account for the price at release. That makes it a lot easier to swallow. Thanks for the break-down!

I’m not a sneakerhead myself but I know plenty growing up in Brooklyn. It’s big in NYC especially Brooklyn and the Bronx.

The shoes are cool (and I’m not a sneaker guy) so I looked ‘em up. What “relatable” teen has $1000 shoes? Am I missing something?

Do not demand official branding in your media. Especially not from huge corporations like Nike. The concept art shoes evoked Jordans, and that’s better than what the movie or the official game screenshots did.

Yeah, after it was already RUINED FOREVER because Peter Parker looks different and a bit more similar to Tom Holland.  I simply can’t with these people.

At least the puddles had the decency to be confined to a single room!

Can’t wait for all the people to come out and say that this game is now RUINED FOREVER because Miles is wearing slightly different shoes.

I think the actual release is like a year or two off? I’d imagine aside from a few people, the goal would be to let it get a little more finished before covering what is, right now, a bug filled experience.
